Words For Wednesday

There was an abandoned shack out in the foothills with a broken fence around it. Very little was inside the shack. No one dared go inside.

When someone touring the area for the first time, he saw the shack and added to walk inside. All he could find inside were cobwebs and dust on the dirt floor and shards of undeterminable materials. He could see a broken-down sofa with springs and stuffing sticking out. A dilapidated rocking chair sat in one corner. An old sewing machine was in another corner.

The man observed all that he'd seen inside the shack and wondered who could have once lived here. Was it an old seamstress? Any old family? Someone was living in this neck of the woods? This was such mystery.He soon became so scared that he decided to leave. And he would never return. Very few others dared go inside. Therefore, the mystery remained unsolved.

There was an old thieves shack near my grandparents cabin. I found it absolutely fascinating to explore, and that's what the first picture reminds me of. I can see where a place like that might spook some people though. For me, I just want to be there and imagine.
